What Do You Keep in the "Trunk"?

[Flappy Hoohah]

Good morning, I was wondering what tools or supllies you guys keep under the rear seat/cowl when doing medium length trips. i was on a group ride the other day, about 200 miles roundtrip, and of course a few bikes had some issues with loose bolts, minor leaks, etc.

Was just wondering if you guys keep a few key items in your bike for such occassions when you ride.

Thanks!
Nick

I can't think of anything that would be useful other than allen wrenches.


* yeah, just allen wrenches, registration, $50 and some condoms

not really, i keep my wallet and camera in there.

 

[juicedogs]

Cell phone and wallet. And the only reason both of those items fit, (barely!), is because I removed the useless tool kit

towel and wallet.

the first time you come out and a bird shit on your bike, you'll be glad you had the towel. LOL

I thought it was so retarded that the tool kit had a philips screw driver in there until I was on my first really long road trip with the 1098 and the mirror detached at the arm, not where it joins the faring. Sure enough, it was a philips screw in there.

Otherwise, set of allen wrenches, condoms, spare headlight bulb (in case I meet the wrong cop that knows it's not legal to have HID in Ontario) documents in zip lock bags and an old digital camera I got off Ebay for ten bucks. Better than a cell phone camera and not worth enough that I'll care if it gets busted in a bar fight.

Bar fight? you hit people with the tail of your bike in bar fights?
